Border wall divides Texas: Lone Star voters evenly split on need for barrier, poll finds
WASHINGTON – The goal of President Donald Trump's proposed border wall is to separate the U.S. and Mexico, but it has ended up splitting Texas in two.
Voters of the Lone Star State are evenly divided over the need for a wall on the southern border of the U.S., although a clear majority opposes the use of a national emergency declaration to get funding for it, according to a poll from Quinnipiac University that was released Tuesday.
About 48 percent of Texas voters oppose the construction of the wall and 48 percent support it, according to the poll. Republican support for the wall remains high, with 87 percent in favor and 11 percent against. Democrats, on the other hand, oppose the wall 90 percent to 7 percent.
